Voters approve of Sen. Rick Scott's plan

 Breitbart:

Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) 11-point plan, designed to implement after the November midterms, is roundly supported by voters, a Wednesday Morning Consult/Politico poll revealed.

Though Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has demonized the “Plan to Rescue America” as a tactical error, nine of the 14 agenda items have majority support among voters. The items first reported by Breitbart News to have broad support are:

  • Setting term limits for members of Congress (79 percent)
  • Prioritizing domestic supply chains to reduce reliance on other countries (77 percent)
  • Prioritizing domestic energy sources to reduce reliance on other countries (77 percent)
  • Requiring voters to show voter ID to participate in elections (76 percent)
  • Advocating for the teaching of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools (66 percent)
  • Increasing funding for the police (65 percent)
  • Eliminating requirements to disclose race, ethnicity, or skin color on government forms (63 percent)
  • Promoting the idea that there are only two genders (52 percent)

Scott, who Donald Trump reportedly suggested should become Senate GOP leader after the midterms, told Breitbart News he issued the plan with McConnell’s approval. But Scott’s release of a plan does oppose McConnell’s view that no political promises should be made to the public. The plan has reportedly infuriated some McConnell allies.

...

There are other aspects of the plan that are unpopular and that is what McConnell opposes. I suspect that McConnell also opposes term limits which would directly impact him.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
